Andy Tobin Calls Black Democrat "Very Ghetto," an Idea So Great That He Plagiarized it

Here's something Arizona House Speaker Andy Tobin will learn today: when you're posting in a public forum on the Internet, everyone can see it.

Like this morning, when he called Democratic National Committee executive director Patrick Gaspard "very ghetto."

Gaspard drew the ire of many people who weren't happy with the Supreme Court's decision to uphold the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as Gaspard posted to Twitter, "[I]t's constitutional. Bitches."

A subsequent "tweet" explained that he let the "excitement get the better of [him]."

Tobin, also posting to Twitter, pointed out that the "very ghetto" Gaspard had made this comment.

That led Arizona News Service editor Jim Small to ask Tobin exactly what he meant by saying Gaspard is "very ghetto."

Tobin replied that it was that ghetto language that he uses, and said it wasn't even his idea!
